Now, Madam Yan liked Jiang Yue even more. Jiang Yue had always lived with Wen Xi, so her cooking skills must be quite good. They would be in for a treat in the future.
The lunch was so delicious that Yan Lili didn't want to go home. But she had to go home to do her summer homework and study, otherwise her grades would fall far behind her classmates when school started.
After eating, Wenxi checked the braised food, stirred it, added some firewood, and then went back to her room for a nap. Although Yan Lili had been staying at home for the past few days, Qin Mi had been leaving early and returning late, so Yan Lili hadn't seen Qin Mi yet!
Because Yan Lili was already asleep when Qin Mi returned at night, and she hadn't gotten up yet when he left in the morning.
When Wenxi woke up from her afternoon nap, she quickly went to the kitchen to check on the braised food. Seeing that the food was almost done, she removed the firewood. All that was left was to let it soak for a few hours to allow the flavors to penetrate.
When it got a little cooler in the evening, Yan's mother went to the watermelon patch and bought a basket of watermelons.
The last time she brought back a basket of watermelons, they were all gone in minutes. If she hadn't saved two for her family beforehand, they wouldn't have been able to eat any!
After dinner, the oxcart that Mother Yan had rented arrived. Everyone carried the watermelons onto the oxcart, and then Mother Yan and Yan Lili got on the oxcart. Yan Lili waved goodbye to Wenxi and Jiang Yue reluctantly.
She's been so happy these past few days, so happy that she doesn't want to leave at all.
Once the oxcart was out of sight, Jiang Yue visibly relaxed. She had been keeping a close eye on Yan Lili for the past few days, and she was genuinely afraid; children have just too much energy.
Wenxi knew how hard Jiang Yue had worked these past few days, so she said, "You don't need to go to the watermelon patch tomorrow. Just stay home and rest for a day!"
Jiang Yue nodded. "Thank you."
When Qin Mi came back in the evening, Wen Xi told him to take the food out of the pot and eat it himself. He doesn't eat dinner anymore; he uses his mealtime to work so he can get off work earlier.
Qin Mi didn't go to eat first, but handed a bag to Wen Xi. Wen Xi asked suspiciously, "What's this?"
"You'll see when you open it." Qin Mi then turned to get the food. As soon as the pot lid was lifted, a rich and extremely familiar aroma wafted out.
Wenxi reached into the bag and was surprised to find it had a very smooth feel to it. She quickly took the item out and was surprised to find it was a green dress.
Wenxi has fair skin, and wearing green makes her look even fairer, almost glowing. She is very suitable for wearing green clothes.
"Brother Qin, why did you buy me a dress? I don't need any more clothes," Wen Xi said.
Qin Mi looked at Wen Xi and said, "I hope you can dress up beautifully every day."
"There's another one inside. Go to your room and try it on to see if you can wear it," Qin Mi said.
"Okay." Wen Xi carried the bag back to her room, not wanting to delay Qin Mi's late-night snack any longer. After all, he had worked hard all afternoon without eating dinner, just so he could come back a little earlier.
Back in her room, Wenxi changed into a green dress. Surprisingly, it fit her quite well. Perhaps it was because there were very few overweight people these days, and everyone's figure was similar, so there were more one-size-fits-all clothes available.
This dress might have been made for a slimmer figure, but since Wenxi got the sign-in system, her nutrition has been good, so when she wears this dress, her waist looks particularly thin and her bust looks very full.
Wearing clothes like this out would mean everyone would stare at her, which is terrifying to even think about. It seems she can only wear this outfit at home now.
At this time, there is no freedom of dress; unlike young people in the mission world, you can't show off your clothes here and there. You can only dress properly.
Wen Xi changed into a green dress and went to the kitchen. After all, Qin Mi bought the dress, so she had to let Qin Mi see how it looked on her so that he could buy her more suitable clothes in the future.
"Brother Qin, what do you think?"
The green dress made Wenxi's skin look fair and radiant. When Qin Mi looked up, he could only see the girl's beautiful features under the dim yellow light, like a beautiful landscape.
"It looks exceptionally good," Qin Mi praised sincerely.
Wen Xi smiled sweetly, "Alright, you can eat slowly. I'm going back to my room to rest."
There weren't many entertainment activities, and everyone went to bed quite early at night. However, they had to teach Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui, and Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue had to go out to catch crayfish and eels at night, so they went to bed a little later than others.
Time quickly came to the double harvest season, and the villagers were all working enthusiastically. However, this did not affect Wenxi and her family; they only needed to take care of the watermelons in the field.
Captain Qian instructed the canteen staff to come to the watermelon patch every day to collect five watermelons, chill them with well water, and then deliver them to the patch to cool everyone down when the temperature rose.
Wenxi and the other two didn't eat in the cafeteria, so their food rations wouldn't be deducted. Wenxi could use the system's kitchen to cheat, and cooking wasn't difficult, so she didn't want to join the others.
In summer, there are many kinds of fruits. Every time Wenxi goes out under some pretext, she brings back a basket of fruits, which the three sisters then divide equally. This way, Qin Mi doesn't have to buy expensive fruits for her from the black market.
Although Jin Changqing came back for summer vacation, she didn't stay in the village all the time. Gu Yuanshan would come over whenever he had a break. He is now trying to repair their relationship.
That day, Jin Changqing saw Zhu Ying and Lin Yiwan's older brother, Lin Yihui, walking hand in hand through the village. The two looked travel-worn, as if they had just returned from out of town.
Afraid of being seen by Zhu Ying, Jin Changqing quickly went into the courtyard of the nearest house and pretended to chat with the people there, but she was very confused.
How many men does Zhu Ying need to be satisfied?
First it was her older brother, but he ran away and worked in another city, refusing to have a chance to meet her. Then it was Gu Yuanshan. Jin Changqing and Gu Yuanshan had been separated by Zhu Ying once.
Less than four months have passed, and Zhu Ying has hooked up with Lin Yihui again. What exactly is she planning to do?
And, without her knowledge or sight, were there other men with her?
The thought of Zhu Ying staining her marriage with Gu Yuanshan made Jin Changqing feel as if she would live in Zhu Ying's shadow for the rest of her life, and she felt very unhappy.
After chatting for a while, feeling that they should be home by then, Jin Changqing bid farewell to her host family and went home.
When Zhu Ying entered the Harvest Brigade, she felt a sense of familiarity. The further she went in, the more familiar it became, because she had taken care of Jin Changfeng here before. She didn't expect that Jin Changfeng and Lin Yihui were not in the same unit, but their hometowns were actually in the same brigade.
